waiiiiiit a minute......
10 times??? ....
thats 70ml/GALLON@29% h202 !!?????
lol. k. i know why your roots are white
sorry, but that amount would kill everything in and around my res.
you're talkin about 70ml per gallon at a whopping 29% h202 solution.
I cleaned mine up with 11ml per gallon @3% h202 solution.
and that was only for a few days (until noticeable improvements were made)
Hi there,
Ive recently had an infestation of fungus gnat and used h2o2 to kill the pupae that these buggers leave in the soil to feed on bacteria and eventually roots. I was sceptical, believing that it was a bleach for hair,(with it is). I used the 9% and diluted each 200ml bottle with 3ltrs water. I then sprayed all my plants with neem oil, stuck fly traps in my tent, and its worked a dream. The plants have picked up on green growth and thrived. The pupae in the soil is no longer active, and there are no flies left. As I say, I was really worried when I did this but have to report that its done the trick with more good than harm to my babies.

That's tight!!!+1 Gonna go to the hydro shop and hopefully they have all of this. Oh did i read i need a certain kind of EWC.. like steril or something from the heiz thread? I can't remember, also do think i can flush my res out with H202 while this is brewing over the weekend? Thanks bro!!.
I just called the hydro shop they have nature solution, and ogrensim xl root organics, they have great white but it's kinda pricee. Will one of these others work? If not i'm gonna have to take a lil drive to get the myco.

The ewc but i like ancient forest as for the h202 yes use it but when the tea goes in just do a res change
That great whit will last a long time so the cost is worth it

nice dreams - correct ratio for 29% H2O2 is 1.7ml per Liter, or 3.78x1.7, which equals to 6.5 ml per gallon, or simply 1.5 teaspoons per gallon.

I'm brewing the tea, had to get Barefoot EWC. I was able to get the myco madness and wholesome sweeteners black strap molasses. Is there anything i need to watch out for?
Thanks again HR!!
Doesn't take very to foam does it? As i was typing and looked down it was foaming pretty good!!

it can foam in the first 30 sec of brewing but if you dont see it by 12 hr its jacked up and start over.
ive been doing some test on just useing the ewc in the brew with mollasiss for clones and smaller vegging plants
seems to work good, im guessing if there was a slime issue it wouldnt work!
watch your roots you should see new white ones soon after you put it in, they might be a bit strained but smell them and
when it smells like dirt or soil you are winning the battle.

Oh yeah, it did start in 30 seconds and it's still foaming 6 hrs later. I was wondering do i use the 1gal for every 10, every time i change out the rez? Also i have some floralicious. Can i still use this with my base and the tea?
hellraizer30
Rebel From The North
yah you should be fine with those nutes, everytime to do a res change and clean your system out add the 1gal per 10
